## Synopsis

Little Women (2022) is a South Korean crime mystery miniseries created by Kim Hee-won and Chung Seo-kyung for tvN, a Studio Dragon production adapted from a novel. Oh In-joo (Kim Go-eun), Oh In-kyung (Nam Ji-hyun) and Oh In-hye (Park Ji-hu) are three sisters who have only each other and never enough money. Their struggle becomes a conspiracy when a seventy billion won fortune appears out of nowhere, forcing them to decide whether to keep it or return it. Wi Ha-jun plays Choi Do-il, and Uhm Ji-won plays Won Sang-a, both entangled in the wealthy and powerful circles that the sisters must navigate. Across a single twelve-episode season of roughly seventy-five minutes each, the story moves through investigation, murder and shifting alliances, with each episode peeling back another layer of the scheme. Kim Mi-sook and Kang Hoon add weight as members of the elite whose secrets shape the chase. The tone is tense and emotionally grounded, with sisterly loyalty and class resentment at its core. Set in contemporary Seoul, the drama draws on the texture of Korean prestige television. Fans of SKY Castle and Big Little Lies will find resonance in its blend of family intimacy and elite intrigue.
